THE BASICS:
I have not missed any classes this semester. I didn't not fully participate in three of the classes this semester because I was either sore from the day before or I didn't put enough energy into the activities we were doing for example the game day we had in the small gym where we played dodge ball. I have always brought my gym strip and worn it to every class too. The above basics for get fit for this semester has affected my ability to participate in a positive way because I give mainly all my effort and I always bring a positive attitude to class.
BLOGS:
I have written 9 blogs for through this semester so far. My blogs are very thoughtful because I write about myself but I also write about what we did in the class and what I enjoy about the time and what I didn't enjoy so much. I also write about other activities that we could try with links. There are no pictures for blogs but there are 2 videos from YouTube. Writing blogs has made me realize what I need to improve on and what my strength is in this class because writing about how you are in the class really shows you what you are like.
PARTICPATION:
I would rate my participation in the class a very high number because I do put a lot of energy and work into this class. However there were three days that I didn't I still did participate just not the best I could and I know that I could've put more effort into those days. I have put more participation into those days when we do fitness as a group because I feel more motivated and with the more people around I feel like there's a lot more support so I participate to my very best! I am very proud of the community run because when we came back our time was 21 mins and I feel that is really good since I took three walking moments and I tried my very best by pacing myself as I jog. I could improve by participating more with equipment or helping support the class.
OTHER CONTRIBUTIONS:
I bring positive energy to the class everyday. I am contributing to the class with being positive so other people can have a smile even if they had a bad day.
I believe I should receive a G

Yoga
Tuesday, March 24/ 2015
Yesterday we did Yoga for fitness. Every class did it together as a large group in the large gym, and I found it to be a lot of fun because I like doing things with the other classes. I find it to be really motivating and it gives me more energy when I'm doing it with other people. I put in a lot of effort yesterday because I really want to become fit and stay healthy. You could tell that I put in a lot effort and work into fitness yesterday because my face was bright red and today I am very sore in my thighs and my back. I enjoyed Yoga for fitness yesterday because I am pretty sure that we did that same video last time we did Yoga, therefore it was familiar and easy. I hope that in the future we do more group fitnesses.

Spring Break
During Spring Break, I did some fitness activities by doing Erika's and I's weight room workout three times and I went for runs in the morning around city hall, down to Goldstone and then down the highway where it would lead back to my house. I also ate quite healthy during the spring break with some exceptions but for the most part I ate healthy for example I had many salads and fruits. I love fruit. When I went to Nanaimo, on the island, my friend and I decided to go for a walk around downtown and then we went for a 3 and a half hour walk just to explore the different stores etc.

Zumba
March 06/2015
Today we did Zumba for fitness, it was alright. I didn't as much as I could because I am sore and I didn't really know how to do the moves. I felt like the video was too fast. I know next time I will try more and put more effort into the fitness activity that we are doing but when we do Zumba I hope we could do a slower video where it takes you step by step on how to do the dance like a video from Julianne Hough has because its still a work out and a dance but it isn't like zumba it's more slow. I feel if we did something like this I would feel more motivated to try because then I know how and what the steps of the dance are and these videos are long enough for the class as well.

Workout Room
March 2-6/2015
For this week we were in the weight room. I like going to the weight room because Erika and I have our own workout that we do in there that we have had since last year. I like using the machinery in the weight room and I love using the weights because you don't really get to use them that often unless you go to the gym. I felt that this week really made me sore and use muscles that I haven't or barley used. I really enjoyed this experience because I learned about different ways to work out other parts of my body. I did think that a week was too long though for the weight room because I was sore and didn't feel like running up and down the stairs, or lifting weights. However, I did manage to overcome my soreness and I am excited for when we get to be in the weight room again.

45 Seconds in The Middle
Tuesday, March 03/ 2015
Today we did 45 Seconds in the Middle for fitness, and I really enjoyed it because a group of 3 or 4 people had to go in the middle and do 45 seconds of a work out and then everyone joined in after. I really liked this because everyone had to go in the middle at least once and that made me have more confidence because I don't like being in front of a lot of people and trying to talk or do something like we did but it made me feel more comfortable that everyone had to at least try. I felt good after we did this workout because I was very sore which means that I put a lot of effort and I know I'm making it faster to my goal for this semester.

Community Run
February 27/2015
We did the Community Run for Fitness, and I love the community run because I feel more motivated to participate and give all my effort because when i'm doing the community run we are going around the community and sometimes we take roots that I don't know. Therefore, I like seeing the different houses and neighborhoods we run through. I love the community run also because at the end they give you a time and it makes me more motivated to try because I want to lower that time. Today I got 21 minutes and I felt really good about it because I was tired and out of breath and my face showed all my effort because I was beat red. I did take three stops where I just walked for a couple seconds or to a certain place for example a fire hydrant and then would start jogging again, but I feel like next time I want to try and only take one stop. Next time we do the community run my goal is to get 15-17.
